Note 40 — Chapter VI · PLATONIC CANON, AS RECOGNISED BY THRASYLLUS.
Reading edition
Diog. L. iii. 49. Schöne, in his commentary on the Protagoras (pp. 8-12), lays particular stress on this division into the direct or dramatic, and indirect or diegematic. He thinks it probable, that Plato preferred one method to the other at different periods of life: that all of one sort, and all of the other sort, come near together in time.
